Hehe, thanks Monkey, I got told off by the fella for not saying he was responsible for the pinstriping! :)

She's only had work done to the bits that werent done last time! The work that was done a couple of years ago is still looking ok! This was the front end, valances and sills that got attention this time! Sorry to hear about you selling James and I hope you manage to buy him back! I could never sell Lily, I would be heartbroken if she ever went anywhere. :(

Im keeping my old wheels for now, I feel a bit bad getting rid of them as my stepdad bought me then for my 18th.

Hehe, she might already be back on the road! :) I drove her home last night! Yay! Dont want to drive her while theres still salt about but I finding it hard to resist! Still need to get her arches put back on, but hoping to do that tomorrow!

I think I prefer the black, but Ive replaced that chrome and also the bits around the arches with black, dechroming her a little!

I put her dash and carpet back in today, so shes looking a bit more homely now!

The fella almost got the arches on! Until one of the rivets went through the fibreglass, so now it needs repairing :P They look good on though!

Heres one fitted with tape!
